Brethankes - I thought about trying to grind down the one I have, but that would put the ends of the swivel base pretty much in the middle of the holes that are already drilled and the new holes that I would have to drill to match the romy stock over lapping each other - it would probably work but look like s__t... - I know it sounds minor - but I am kind of a perfectionist,especially when it comes to how things look - sounds funny for an AK owner,but it is what it is...thanks much for your help - guess I,ll keep looking, its only been a month or so.
